This research paper examines the difficulties and pain points that organizations encounter as they seek to straddle the conflicting pressures of ever increasing email volumes on one hand, and the need for faster, more flexible accessibility on the other. It also explores what practices and policies are currently in use when it comes to archiving emails, and the ways in which businesses can improve practices in this crucial area.

There are, for example, options available which can bring email archiving up-to-date, with e-discovery and archiving-driven solutions available in the cloud. But to what extent are they being accepted by businesses, and what are the barriers to the acceptance of these solutions? The research paper also identifies the obstacles to change and how they can be overcome, as well as the many advantages to be had for business as a whole from adopting modern archiving solutions.
